Good to go. But i dont think you need the 2400mhz ram. Omega is damn huge that occupies almost 3 slots. You sure you are fine with it?

Thanks!:)
So what speed should I be getting?
Doubt I'll be having SLI, and I don't really have any use for the slots.
Any recommended shop to get these from?

If you are those see benchmarks and happy then just hoot 2133 or 2400.

Cause normally 1866 will do the job as intel dont really benefit much from using faster rams.

You may want to change your PSU to a Superflower Leadex 750W as it is slightly cheaper, offers very good voltage and ripple regulation (on par with a Seasonic) and comes with better quality components for a more durable PSU.
